For iOS 16, there isn't specific information available in the provided context. However, I can share some general updates from later versions of iOS and UIKit that might be of interest:
In iOS 18, UIKit introduced several enhancements, including:
- A redesigned launch experience for document-based apps, allowing for more control over launch views and template document creation.
- Major updates to tabs and sidebars, with a new syntax in SwiftUI for tab views to catch common errors at build time.
- Improved fluid transitions across the system, enhancing the sense of continuity in apps.
- Enhanced interoperability between SwiftUI and UIKit, allowing for easier integration of animations and gesture recognizers.
For more detailed information on the latest updates in UIKit, you can refer to the session What’s new in UIKit (00:00:07) from WWDC 2024.
